HOW IT HAPPENED

• Senior left fielder Joey Coro (North Providence, R.I.) gave RIC an insurance run a few batters later to give the Anchormen a 3-1 lead.
 
• Junior pitcher Terry Murray (Norfolk, Mass.) was brilliant, pitching eight complete innings of one-run ball. He handed the ball off to senior Colin Gauthier (Pawtucket, R.I.), who notched his seventh save of the year. Murray had six strikeouts and earned his seventh win (7-1).
